Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a flat, stable surface at least 35 x 26 inches to accommodate the finished size plus a border. Clear your workspace and utilize a sorting tray to organize pieces by color or edge type. When handling the puzzle, avoid using moisture or liquid cleaners on the pieces, as this can warp the cardboard. To preserve the puzzle once finished, you may use specialized archival-safe puzzle glue and a mounting board. Store the pieces in a cool, dry place inside the original box to prevent moisture-related damage over time.
